It’s too bad the morons in this country have decided to go down the same path the Europeans took. Even as we watch them go over the cliff, we skip merrily along behind them.
It was only a month or so ago when most liberals thought that Europe was doing swimmingly. I kid you not, I drew blank stares when I would mention to friends, family, or acquaintances that there were debt problems that superseded ability to pay. It was breaking news to them. Some of them had been tourists and were sucked in by the orderliness and great train service. And, of course, health care and the benefits packages. They REALLY thought that Europeans were more advanced, rational, and had whipped past socialist failures once and for all.
Needless to say, the past month has been shocking and very upsetting. Except to me, because I got to gloat.
You must break the system before you can rebuild it.
